Gingatopia

Gingatopian Land Army - Autumn Manoeuvres

Another Sunday in Gingatopia and, in Kieran's absence, Jilly, Evelyn and I went to B&Q for a few gardening goodies. Having wrapped Evelyn up against the bitter cold [slight exaggeration!] in this lovely hooded top from The House of Imogen [thanks to James, Jenna and Imogen], we all fired off to B&Q to buy plants for Farmer Jilly to plant in the garden.

Typically, we came back with a load of pansies, or sweet-peas, or some such girly flowers; nothing cool like carrots or potatoes! In Jilly's defence, she did spend over an hour in back-breaking physical labour removing old and/or unwanted foliage from the garden to make space for her new plants, while I kept her supplied with tea. All that's missing now is the lawn that we plan to replace the pebble-beach with - nearer summer, next year - and we'll have a garden suitable for Evelyn and Kieran to throw themselves around in...and I might even be talked into a bit of a wrestle...if anyone's up for it (ahem!).

The more observant amongst you may have noticed that Jilly is wearing a very fetching gardener's smock combined with a pair of elegant green wellies...hoo-argh! Deb and Kev presented this extremely utilitarian garment to Jilly for her 36th birthday...and she loves it! I'm currently searching E-bay for a straw hat and pitch-folk for Jilly's Christmas pressie.
